Answer:
volume = 240 in.^2
240 times 1/2 = 240/2
240/2 = 120
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the width of the rectangle.
The length of a rectangle is 7 inches less than twice the width, w, of the rectangle. It means that the length is (2w - 7) inches
Part A
The function that gives the area as a function of the width is
A(w) = w(2w - 7)
Part B:
If the area of the rectangle is 60 square inches, it means that
w(2w - 7) = 60
2w² - 7w = 60
2w² - 7w - 60 = 0
2w² + 8w - 15w - 60 = 0
2w(w + 4) - 15(w + 4) = 0
2w - 15 = 0 or w + 4 = 0
w = 15/2 or w = - 4
Since w cannot be negative, then
w = 15/2 = 7.5 inches
An infinite amount seeing as you can have infinite of each number
This doesnt look like a complete question
